LPC, 5 years of experience
I am Angela Bates, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey to emotional well-being. Angela’s counseling style is empathetic, mindful, and client-centered. She believes in treating everyone with respect and dignity but equally important, she prides herself on demonstrating compassion, genuineness, and empathy. Angela’s treatment approach is set on the foundation of building a therapeutic relationship by establishing trust and rapport from the onset of sessions.
In your first session with me, you can expect a safe, welcoming, and structured environment. I will gather important information such as your background, concerns and therapeutic goals to set a foundation for future sessions. However the overall aim is to build trust with you so you can feel comfortable.
One of my greatest strengths as a mental health provider is my ability to offer non-judgmental, empathetic support. I can listen, validate emotions, and provide coping strategies and resources as needed. Additionally, I offer a safe space where clients feel comfortable to express themselves.
I love working with adult clients 18 and older who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression or relationship issues.
I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT as it is commonly called) to help you to understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and reactions. I teach you how to challenge negative thought patterns and respond to challenging situations more effectively.

Dr. Bates is very warm and supportive. She's insightful and she can notice the stem of your issues through your words. She's been giving me assignments to help me reflect on my past and get through the anxiety, which have all been very helpful. 100% recommended for someone who needs not only a good listener but a mentor type of therapist.

It was very easy to open up to Angela Bates. She listens and she gives her perspectives and helps guide me through my thought process. It was solution oriented and I needed someone to offer me solutions to work on my mindset.

My first session with Angela was incredibly fruitful. She was warm, welcoming, and truly listened. Her insightful questions and thoughtful solutions reassured me that I’ll grow and heal through our sessions. I’m so glad I found this platform and connected with her. If you’re looking for someone experienced and compassionate, I highly recommend her. I’m looking forward to our next session and appreciate the meaningful homework I’ve been given.
